I was born and raised in Regina, Saskatchewan but have also lived in Ontario and Alberta. As a child, I wanted nothing more than to escape this world and live in some kind of fantasy. I was captivated by movies like Labyrinth (1986), where Jareth the Goblin King pulls Sarah into his labyrinth, trying to make her forget her past and be trapped forever. I must admit, at the time I thought Jareth, played by David Bowie, was dreamy–spandex and all! Over the years, I fell in love with many make-believe men and their stories of adventure. I wished for Conan, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger to save me from some kind of serpentine beast, for Madmartigan, played by a long-haired, dirty Val Kilmer, to defend me from raiders sent by the evil Queen Bav I was born and raised in Regina, Saskatchewan but have also lived in Ontario and Alberta.

I must admit, at the time I thought Jareth, played by David Bowie, was dreamy–spandex and all! Over the years, I fell in love with many make-believe men and their stories of adventure. I wished for Conan, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger to save me from some kind of serpentine beast, for Madmartigan, played by a long-haired, dirty Val Kilmer, to defend me from raiders sent by the evil Queen Bavmorda, or for bearded Commander William T. Ricker, played by Jonathan Franks, to beam me aboard. However, as time passed, it became apparent that no Goblin King was coming to take me away, so it was up to me to create my own stories filled with adventure and superheroes.

I attended the Alberta College of Art and Design, where I majored in glass blowing. After many burns, slivers, and cuts, I obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts with distinction. Today, I work as an artist, creating pieces out of clay and fibre. I now live in Calgary, Alberta with my Toy Manchester Terrier named Soy Bean. I’ve never forgotten over the years the wonderful adventures my imagination has taken me on, and for this reason I started to write. I’ve always found books, movies and video games a real escape, and I wanted to create something that could help others escape as well.

I published my first book, Between Worlds, in 2012. This book was brought to life with inspiration from my friends and family, as well as my little dog. I wanted to create a world that was filled with magic, yet still believable. I am currently working on my second book. It will continue to tell the story of Olive Trix, one filled with imagination, magic, and make believe. And who knows, maybe this story will go where no story has gone before.
